Greenspan presented the committee with the Fed's latest economic forecasting, predicting that the economy would grow this year in a range of 2.5 percent to 2.75 percent. That represented a significant cut from the Fed's February forecast, when it had predicted growth this year would be a faster rate of between 3.25 percent to 3.5 percent.
